The Other Side of the Mountain took over eight years to finish
from the screenwriting phase to the final edit. It took such a
long time due to the nature of the international production and
going back and forth between the countries with delayed
communication, story compromises and production setbacks,
technical delays, and scheduling.

Graduates from a Film Studies program have a new opportunity in film
& video production. Of course, with all opportunity comes a
challenge - and in this case, the challenge is to locate financing

Story behind the "The Village Boy" Movie

Directed by: Damien Dematra, IndonesiaStarring: Radhit Syam

For Damien, the film itself is very personal and colorful. Tears
mixed with emotions, egos, and interests from various partied have
made this movie mentally costly for Damien. According to him, it was
just in the second half of the shooting, the process can start
running smoother. He did that because for Damien, this movie is his
present for Buya and the Indonesian people. It was a promise to be
fulfilled to movie lovers in Indonesia and international society—to
make a humanist, educating, and at the same time entertaining film.
Moreover, the movie which script was disassembled 10 times will be
played regularly in Muhammadiyah and Catholic schools, which put
distinctive moral burden to Damien.

Natsanat' (freedom) documents the the heroic
stories
of young female freedom fighters in Ethiopia during the 20th
century.

'The Other Side of the Mountain' is the first
feature film co-produced between a U.S. company and North Korea
(Democratic People's Republic of Korea). The film took six years to
complete under extremely difficult circumstances. The collaboration
with the North Korean film industry has been a delicate yet fruitful
relationship. With the consent of the Department of Culture of North
Korean Government, the American producer was granted access to
produce this feature film with North Koreans. The film was shot
entirely on location in North Korea. The cast and crew involved in
the production of this film are North Korean, who received rations
from the government for working on the film like any other job. The
soundtrack features an orchestra and original songs composed by
North Korean musicians. This was also the first instance of sync
sound for a film made in North Korea. The sound equipment was
brought over to Pyongyang and used for the first time in their film
history. Never having produced a film of this scope, the nation is
proud to present the film to the rest of the world.

The short film “God of Love”, produced by Filipinos Gigi Dement,
Stefanie Walmsely and Stephen Dypiangco, picked up an Oscar Sunday
night, beating out stiff competition to win what is arguably the
highest honor you can achieve in cinema.read more
